FWIW I still use Autoconf (actually, just autom4te/autotest) on machines with perl 5.8. These installations do have both Digest::SHA and Time::HiRes available, though. Though I am still using Autoconf 2.69 on these systems, as I'm not aware of any Autotest-related problems that would be fixed by upgrading. Happy to give new versions a go though. Cheers, Nick
